[HAM] increasing perc. volume

[Bill Odum]

One note can seem to be louder  than the rest due to the accoustics in the room. happens often.I suggest you make sure that's the problem before you start pulling back magnets.  Move the organ to a different area  in the ro0m and see if that corrects it.

  Hi Jake and everyone.
I have not yet heard Dr Lonnie Smith's album "Too damn hot" but the
louder G note could simply be because the pickup rod of that particular
tone wheel note has been set too close to the tone wheel thus causing
that TG note to be louder than the adjacent TG notes. 
I have measured the tone wheel generator output levels of several organs
and it is common to have a few excessively loud TG notes here and there.
On my own 1965 C3 a few treble TG notes were noticeably louder than the
adjacent TG notes and I had to fix this by pulling these particular TG
magnet rods back until the normal output levels were produced.
Because the percussion notes are taken from the TG in the same way that
the normal key board notes are taken , then if a particular TG note is
either set too loud or too weak then you will hear this when you use the
percussion effect and you play that particular note.
All the best.

Hey,
It's funny you should mention "Too Damn Hot." I always thought 
something sounded funny about that percussion. I finally realized that 
one note (a G) either doesn't decay or does decay but is WAY louder 
than the others. You can hear it at 0:30 in Someday My Prince Will 
Come. Other than that I think the percussion is normal sounding on 
that album.
